Chapter 651: The Altar of Gods (Part 1)
This is the first time that Xu Changqing has observed these turbid orcs up close. Most of the appearances of these turbid orcs have turned into human form, but some parts still retain the characteristics of turbid beasts, such as snake eyes, eagle beaks, etc. Although they look weird, they have a bit of charm like the heavenly gods circulating in the secular world. Xu Changqing saw that the reason why these turbid orcs have not been completely transformed into human form is mainly because their transformation is catalyzed by some secret method. The seeds of the gods in these turbid orcs are very weak. Their blood is strong but not strong, and they are only equivalent to ordinary turbid beasts. These powers are not enough to help them turn into human form. In addition, although these turbid orcs are majestic, they are dull and have no agility at all, as if they are all puppets.
This situation made Xu Changqing feel a little confused, because according to what he thought, these turbid orcs should be used as the main combat power by foreign gods, so they spent a lot of effort to transform the turbid orcs. But now it can be seen that these turbid orcs seem to be only used to manage and protect these ancient cities, and these turbid orcs should have appeared for quite a while, but they have never used the turbid orcs in the turbid beast tide. But think about it, if the turbid orcs were used to invade the War Demon Cliff during the turbid beast tide, as Xu Changqing looked at the turbid orcs now, they might die as much as they go, which is useless. This situation gives Xu Changqing the feeling that these foreign gods created these turbid orcs that can be called remnants just to make one more toy or a slave.
Xu Changqing vaguely felt that the existence meaning of these turbid orcs may have some connection with the existence meaning of Kunlun mixed races. Whether it is turbid orcs or Kunlun mixed races, it will definitely not be a decoration of a rich holy ruin race. However, Xu Changqing has not yet figured out what the real role of these two races created and evolved from foreign gods is, but he feels that he will figure out this matter if he stays here for a few more days.
After calming down his mood, Xu Changqing turned his attention from the surrounding turbid orcs to the altar in front of him, and carefully checked every detail inside and outside the altar. The entire altar was in the shape of a hexagonal spire, with a total of 360 layers counting from above. The top of the altar was penetrated directly into the sky, standing on it, enough to overlook the land of hundreds of miles. The altar was not made of bricks and stones, but was carved by the powerful men of the Holy Ruins with a whole piece of huge rock, so the entire altar was considered seamless. Six huge copper pillars were erected at the hexagonal tips of the altar, but there were only four bronze statues at the top of the bronze pillar, and the other two bronze pillars were empty. Although the identity of these four bronze statues was not marked on the bronze pillar, judging from the manners of the surrounding priests, the four bronze statues should be the four giant supreme gods of the Holy Ruins.
Whether it is the surface of the altar or the surroundings of the copper pillars, all of them are carved with various strange patterns. Although these patterns are crisscrossed and look extremely complicated and chaotic, like a mess, they give people the feeling of extreme harmony, as if these patterns should be carved like this. Xu Changqing did not feel any power from these patterns, nor did he know the specific purpose of these patterns. But he could vaguely feel that these patterns were showing a law of heaven and earth, a law of heaven and earth that made him feel a little pressure. Moreover, with the power of his great light divine eyes, after penetrating the stone wall of this pattern, he was unable to continue to penetrate and could not see everything inside the altar. From this, it can be seen that the person who built this altar was also a powerful person who mastered a kind of path of heaven and earth. His cultivation was definitely not worse than that of the strong immortal like Tai Shuwang, and even more than that.
In addition to the patterns of the great way, the origin of the gods at the top of the altar is also an existence that interests Xu Changqing. Under the observation of the God of Great Light, Xu Changqing discovered that the origin of this god was actually composed of a combination of multiple origins of the gods, but the power of the gods that dominate the gods now is the moon and the hunting goddess Artemis. It is eroding other origins of the gods little by little to strengthen itself. If it waits for it to completely swallow the origin of other gods, it is likely to grow into a complete origin of the Artemis gods, thus evolving into a real foreign god.
Xu Changqing also felt the source of the gods similar to it in Shavina, the lord of the Forbidden Forest, but the divine power that dominated her gods was the snake-haired banshee Medusa, and the divine powers of the other gods also coexisted with each other rather than devouring each other. Xu Changqing is not good at comparing which of the two is better, but what is certain is that if the origin of this gods completes the final transformation, it will definitely be no weaker than the existence of the other four supreme gods of the Holy Ruins. Unfortunately, in Xu Changqing's view, such transformation may take thousands of years to complete, and it is still unknown whether it can be transformed into a perfect state in the end.
Now Xu Changqing was almost sure that Beth, Shavina, Tianshi Niangniang and others might have created foreign gods using this method on the altar, but they were all unstable works. He couldn't help but think that the person who created this method could definitely be said to be a shocking person. If there was an altar like this, there was one in each spherical continent. Perhaps the Holy Ruins could give enough time to prepare, and they could really form an army with the strength of the strong immortals. At that time, the entire Kunlun Three Realms would probably be their own belongings.
"Preparation for thousands of years is only a time to die, and it is time! Life!" Xu Changqing sighed. Although the holy ruins that set up the altar to condense the origin of the gods can calculate the world, unfortunately they cannot calculate the great catastrophe of the three realms. Now that the great catastrophe is approaching, his layout can only be abandoned halfway. The origin of the gods who have not done their best will not cause any threat. No matter how many of them are, they cannot cause any threat.
At this time, the priest had entered the only gate on the front of the altar, and Xu Changqing did not follow, because he found that the moment the priest entered the gate, the two statues engraved on the gate shone out invisible light at the same time, turned into a Dharma body, and swept over the priest before he could enter.
These two statues are not real gods, but a type of Titan giant, called Thousand-Eyed Giant. According to legend, the eyes of the Thousand-Eyed Giant can see through all the actions and no divine power magic can be hidden in front of him. Although the Thousand-Eyed Giant in front of him is just two puppets made of some kind of holy ruins, they still have some of the magic power of Thousand-Eyed Giant. Xu Changqing is not very familiar with the divine power of this foreign god. Although he is very confident in the magic power of his magical magic that hides his body, in order to avoid accidents, he still did not follow in order to avoid alarming the snake. He is going to wait outside until evening and go in with others. Since the priest wants others to steal the Kingdom of God, he will definitely find a way to close the source of the divine power of these two statues.
Xu Changqing removed the invisibility method in a remote alley outside the square, and then changed into an appearance of the Egyptian sun god Halls whom he had conquered in the secular world. He transformed his clothes into the most ordinary Greek-style robe of the pure blood man in the foreign land. He walked out swaggeringly and climbed the viewing platform that was more than a hundred feet wide and three feet high near the edge of the square. Perhaps he already knew that the altar would open a blood sacrifice ceremony tomorrow, and the viewing platform had already taken up a place at this moment. Even if he could not be present in person, he would send someone over. Xu Changqing could feel from the excited expressions on these people's faces that they were very expecting this blood sacrifice ceremony. This expectation did not seem to be an expectation of the blood sacrifice ceremony itself, but an expectation of the derived things of the blood sacrifice ceremony, which made Xu Changqing feel a little curious.
Xu Changqing quietly found a relatively remote place, sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes slightly as if he was nourishing his spirit, waiting for the darkness, and using the Buddhist Tianertong to listen to the conversations of everyone around him. These people did not talk in Chinese, but used an ancient Greek and ancient Latin language combination. When Xu Changqing was in the secular world, he taught Western knowledge, especially ancient books, with the archbishop of the Western Holy See. Most of the ancient books in the West were written in ancient Greek and ancient Latin. Xu Changqing was not unfamiliar with these two languages, but was very familiar with them. Although this language is somewhat different from the two languages he knew, most of the pronunciations and meanings are very similar. After writing down these pronunciations, he deduced them through the state of Taoist heart, quickly deduced the divine words of the holy ruins and mastered the usage.
Although these foreign pure blood people have never really come into contact with the holy ruins located in the center of this world, and there is no secret matter in their mouths, as far as Xu Changqing is concerned, everything they talk to is very useful for him to understand. For example, the posture of sitting cross-legged is a beggar sitting position in the eyes of these foreign pure blood people. They either lie down or stand, and they will sit on a chair unless they are in office, but they will never sit on the ground. Although Xu Changqing realized that sitting like this is a bit noticeable, he did not intend to change it. After all, if it is changed now, it will be even more noticeable. It would be better to do whatever it takes to the end.
